I was thinking that too, although I think he's a bit of a dipstick (maybe that was just him fitting in with the locals!). His credentials speak for themselves though, then again so did José and Conte.

A bit of both really. I wasn't that impressed with Poch to start with, if I'm perfectly honest, so I'm a bit wary to offload just yet. It's a mess alright.
Well good luck with the divorce and your new life moving forward.LOL, no, it didn't
It dropped because I'm going through a long divorce, moving house, and my life is stressful enough right now without having to add reading non stop negativity about Spurs.
It will take decades to recover from the hideous disaster of winning a major European Trophy for sure.
We better make sure we never do it again and on THAT metric everything's certainly going to plan this season![]()

Postecoglou is shit. Hes not a Winner...we...Spurs, never lost as many games in a single season ever until that fraud rocked up, we are still paying for it now.So many deluding themselves into thinking he was something special with basically nothing to go on...
Got rid of a proven winner for someone who's never won anything in their entire career.
The football he played at Brentford was crap. So many make it out to be something it never was. Had some of the lowest % possession stats and played some of the most long balls in the league.
Yeah, they have got some fight in them, which we need to see because we can play manager merry-go-round until even our enemies get bored of laughing, but at some point we're going to trust a process that actually works.
I don't think we've given it nearly enough time. Get a couple of good players in in Jan and we'll see an uptick.
Unlike with Ange, where I 'hoped' he'd pull it back, I 'think' Frank will pull it back. He just seems more credible and intelligent and I like a good process as much as the next nerd. TBF, I actually thought Ange was a good speaker and I liked his jib, but he was only going to build a super team if he got iniesta and messi and co. in their prime.
Frank has tactical flexibility* and emotional stability (would be nice if he screamed blue murder sometimes, but it's not strictly necessary), he's calm and erudite and we need a steady hand that understands how to grow a dynamic team, not just a plan A.
*yeah, it's part of the problem for now, but they'll either learn to adapt or we'll find players who will.
As for any replacements, it's just grass-is-greener bullshit, you CANNOT know if they'd be better, because you don't really know what the problem is, just what it might be. Give him a couple of seasons, if the players see we blame the manager and not them, we're just yet again teaching them that they don't have to take responsibility.
Its definitely relevant. Whether Frank is good enough is one thing.
But as far as I'm concerned matt wells has never been at this level other than with us
Hope life settles down soon for you, best wishes.LOL, no, it didn't

I agree and he was a youth player with us, who's career ended prematurely.
Yeah, I guess your right.Mate.
I just cant take you seriously... you said Richarlison has more strings to his bow than Solanke.
Richarlison is literally a Bow with no strings.
Easily one of the worst takes ive ever read on TFC.
I agree, we don't know any will be better, that's kind of my point. We need someone who can adapt, I don't expect anyone at this point will turn it around in less than a season. Ange was a polarising force that reduce our flexibility for 2 seasons, entrenching a simplicity that we still suffer from.We can’t know that any replacement, even Poch, will definitely be better.
But tbh I’m not expecting much more from Frank. He’s trying to put in the same system he had at Brentford but with players not well-suited to it and with a fanbase that want to see more.
I get that you see Frank as a smart guy who can adapt and change but he’s been here 6 months now and shown zero signs of that.
We do need to give a coach time but we also need to be sure it’s the right coach we’re giving time to. What happens if we rebuild the squad to Brentford ball and eventually learn that really it’s just a model built on maths and odds that will get you enough wins to finish mid table with any resources but not one that can dominate games and win trophies?
You see, this is where you are rewriting history my friend.He wasn't reliant on him, hence why he went. He didn't play much and "despite how important he still was to us" was, well, not enough to get much game time
It will take decades to recover from the hideous disaster of winning a major European Trophy for sure.

The fact Richarlison has 50 caps for Brazil.....Just says everything that is wrong with Brazilian football.Yeah, I guess your right.
If only Solanke was Brazilian....I'm sure he'd have blown Richie's 50 odd international caps out the water
Solankedinho
